Posted: March 29th, 2012 - I've been using KeePass for about a year now to manage my most of my passwords and it's great. KeePass has been around for awhile and has plenty of plugins that integrate with multiple browsers and mobile OSes. Recently I stopped using Keepass's browser plugins in favor of it's OOTB Auto-Type functionality. For most browsers the process is simple and well documented, but for some reason I couldn't find a simple solution for Internet Explorer.

Thus, I decided to look for a different solution and it wasn't long before I noticed the Disqus API.
